Can confirm. Job listing asked for "chemical or mechanical engineering degree" with "5 years industry experience" and "some experience in conveying liquids". These were the top three qualifications. I have none of those. Still got the job :)

Hello! I am a (22F) and you are describing the last three years of my life. I am married to a wonderful caring thoughtful man. I wouldn't trade him for anything. His mother sounds just like your boyfriend's mother. If your boyfriend is an awesome guy please don't throw away your relationship because of her. Here is how we deal with "Jane": I have no contact with her (because I know I would blow up like you did) any and all communications are dealt with by my husband. (We agree what needs to be said in advance.) We remain strong and firm. Basically we tell her if you can't conduct yourself in a respectful manner we will not be coming around anymore. She gets to decide whether or not we are going to visit based on her behavior. The first few times she changed her tune and bit her tongue. This last time however things went horribly, and unfortunately we have decided she is no longer allowed in our lives. Period. When dealing with these people you HAVE to show a UNITED front. When he talks to her about it make sure he says WE (as in you and him) feel that your behavior is..... not SHE (as in you) feels your behavior .... but you really need to express that this is unacceptable and it wont be tolerated or it WILL get worse I guarantee it. But this only works if your boyfriend is willing to Stand up for you, if he doesn't then it really won't work.

Story time. My brother was in line at a fried chicken restaurant and the woman in front of him ordered a bunch of food. The guy at the cash register, once she was done ordering, looked up and asked, "ok is that for here or to go?" The woman got offended and asked, "Do you think I am going to eat all that by myself?!?!" The guy looked up from the register and calmly goes, "Bitch, I don't know your life." The woman shrugged, paid, and left. My brother said the way the guy behind the register said that last sentence made him lose it, and he could not stop laughing.

Serious question, do e-cigs have any negative side affects to others, like cigarettes have second hand smoke? My work allows people to smoke e-cigs inside and I wonder if it is affecting me, but I don't know enough about them.

This is a topic my husband and I fight over a lot, but I am planning on teaching my children about all of the religions. I am agnostic and he is an extremely religious Methodist. He is worried they will "choose the wrong one if we put all of them in front of them." I say let them choose what they want to believe, and as long as they are happy with it they chose right. I think it is wrong to teach your children "this is the only right religion because my mom and my mom's mom and my mom's mom's mom believed it. "

Hello! I am a 22F and I have Crohn's. My Crohn's is relatively mild, but I still have my bad days. I am married to a wonderful, supportive, and understanding man. We started dating when my symptoms first started. He drove me to the emergency room twice. He hung out with me during the "prep" process to get ready for my colonoscopy. (If you don't know that is where you have to drink basically liquid laxative and "go" until there isn't "any more" in you.) He held my hand after the colonoscopy while I farted (they won't let you leave until you fart lol) He has been my biggest help and supporter through this. I would not be in remission (time of no symptoms) right now if it wasn't for his unconditional love and support. If you arn't willing to be there for this girl please do both her and you a favor and leave.

Thank you for your response! That sounds like a good plan. I don't know anything about investing money. I have a 401k that my company and I put money in but other than that I don't know what/how to invest.

Not a manager but for my last job I read over the resumes and made piles of no's and maybes'. Anyway one of the people put "practicing Christian" in their "other skills" section. One put "really good at yu-gi-oh cards". Another put the word resume on the center top of their resume.

This. When my now husband-then boyfriend decided we wanted to live together before marriage to make sure we were right for eachother his mother "shunned" us because it was against her religion. Four months of not talking. She didn't even call on his birthday. She went around the family and made them pick sides, threatening that if they chose wrong they would be cut out of the family as well. She told lies about me, and told everyone I was "the slut that was dragging her poor baby boy to hell." He got phone call after phone call and letter after letter from people from their family and church begging him to "see the light" and "leave the slut". In those four months I went from Catholic to Atheist real fast. Now that we are married we made an agreement that he can see his family whenever and for how long he wants, but I will only go down there ONCE a year. Also, NONE of them are allowed to be alone with any future children we have, and when they are around them there will be NO talk of religion. Lucky we moved several states away after graduation so I just ignore them now.

I did get the feeling they were talking about me. I thought we were dressing up for the bachellorette party and when I showed up in a cute black dress I looked around and everyone was wearing jeans and t shirts. The bride gave me a look and then said "well you look hot" like a backhanded comment. She I tell her if I decide not to go? Should I tell the groom the things I heard? I doubt he would believe me if I tired though.
